Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT WE DO HERE

At The Green Farm Juicery we specialize in organic, raw cold-pressed juices. With juicing you can easily feed your body all of the vitamins, minerals and living enzymes in up to four pounds of produce in just one delicious drink!

Our cold-pressed juices are raw and organic, to provide our customers with the most nutrient dense juice available! We would NEVER pasteurize or use high pressure processing (HPP) to extend the shelf life of our juice.

We only serve the freshest and most nutritious juices and each item on our menu is formulated to contain specific beneficial properties, meaning that with every delicious drop you’re nourishing your body from the inside out. We are here to provide you with your daily dose of juice and we also provide one, two and three day cleanses to help you kick-start a new healthy lifestyle or just to reboot after a gluttonous weekend or vacation.

Start incorporating juicing into your life and begin to feel the benefits from the inside out!

Why Juice?

You would need to eat about four pounds of kale, spinach, romaine, cucumber, celery and parsley just to get the nutrition you get in one glass of our green juice.

Juicing is an easy delicious way to get your nutrients. We think of it as your daily vitamin – pure liquid nourishment that rebuilds cells from the inside out, boosts the immune system and simply will make you feel amazing!!

Juicing allows us to condense vitamins and minerals without having to eat massive amounts of produce. And even better, it allows us to condense the nutrients without destroying them to heat or pasteurization. This preserves all the great things our bodies need to boost immunity, improve energy, and to be less susceptible to disease.

What does “cold-pressed” mean?

Cold-pressing is a juicing process that utilizes over 25,000 pounds of pressure to extract juice, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and micronutrients from fruits, vegetables and other plant-based foods like nuts and seeds. The slow pressing process ensures every bit of nutrient-dense juice is extracted and unharmed, with all live enzymes intact.

Are all cold-pressed juices the same?

Not all cold-pressed juices are created equal.

At The Green Farm Juicery, we press our juice in small batches onsite daily to bring you the freshest and most nutritionally rich juice available. Our juice is NEVER pasteurized, either through heat pasteurization or through high pressure processing (HPP). Doing so would destroy the vitamins, living enzymes and micronutrients that we worked so hard to bottle so you can enjoy!

Our raw cold-pressed juice is like drinking a natural vitamin filled with living enzymes, essential minerals, antioxidants, and natural antibiotics, which are vital for optimal health.

What is the shelf life of your juice?

We press our juice in small batches onsite every day to ensure we are delivering the most nutritionally rich juice available. We always suggest that you drink our juice as soon as possible. That said, the shelf life is anywhere from 3 to 5 days depending on the product. All of our juices and plant milks have a “consume by date” that is applied on the day of production.

Is Juice a meal replacement?

Juice isn’t a meal replacement, unless you are on one of our juice cleanses, rather it is a meal enhancer. Juicing is nature’s vitamin pill and should be consumed on an empty stomach approximately 20 minutes before a complete meal.

It’s really hard to eat the amount of vegetables recommended by most experts in a typical day. It takes up to 4 pounds of vegetables and fruit to get a 16 ounce bottle of our raw cold-pressed juice – which gives you an entire day’s serving of vegetables and fruit in one glass.

When you drink our raw cold-pressed juice before a meal, you will notice your cravings for carbs and sweets are reduced and with regular daily juicing, you will begin to crave plant-based versus heavy or processed foods.

Why are alkaline foods important?

Your body’s pH balance is one of the pillars on which our good health rests. Your pH level reflects how acidic or alkaline your body is – your blood is naturally slightly alkaline (pH of 7.35-7.45) and your body will do whatever necessary to keep it that way. So, if you eat a highly acidic diet, which is a diet that consists of in processed foods, refined sugar, meat, dairy, white flour, soda and alcohol, then your body will work harder to neutralize the acidic load. A body in a chronic state of over-acid pH will result in inflammation and many medical experts believe inflammation is the root cause of disease.

Alkaline-forming foods are the only answer to combating over-acidity. Drinking raw cold-pressed juice helps to alkalize your blood so your body doesn’t have to find balance in other, damaging ways. Raw cold-pressed green juice is one of the most alkalizing foods you can put into your body!

How can I make sure I’m eating an alkaline diet?

Create a morning ritual and start each day by drinking an Alkaline Tonic made from 1 cup of warm water mixed with the juice of a half of lemon, 1 tsp of raw local honey and 1 TBS of apple cider vinegar.

Drink one, ideally two of our raw-cold pressed green juices a day. Green juice is one of the most alkalizing beverages you can consume.

Try to eat an 80 to 20 percent ratio of alkaline-forming foods to acid-forming foods.

What about the fiber?

Fiber is great! Juicing should be in addition to, not instead of, eating raw and cooked vegetables. Juicing allows your body to enjoy the nutrients and living enzymes of approximately four pounds of fruits and vegetables, without having to eat massive amounts of produce. Once you begin to incorporate daily juicing into your diet, you will begin to notice how your cravings change from carbs and sweets to plant-based foods.
